My kids are always so excited to see what I am making. They watch the process, they see the finished results, and they cheer me on, which is why getting them involved is so much fun. Collaborating with them to create a unique piece gives them such pride. You can use a design they have already drawn, or have them create something new.
I like to do the burning while they watch, and then have them finish it off with markers, colored pencils or watercolor.
This makes an amazing gift for a grandparent, spouse, or loved one. It is also a great class option if you teach, especially around Mothers/Father’s Day.
What you will need:
A drawing or design
Wood (unfinished, dried, sanded smooth)
Burner (I used a Walnut Hollow Versatool and recommend it as a starting point. Head over to the following blog post: What Tool Is Right for Me, if you want to learn about a variety of pyro tools, uses and price points for each.)
Embossing Tool (or pen or pencil)
Markers or other medium to add colour (optional - check out: Alternative Mediums to use with Pyrography)
Safety Equipment (click here for the safety guide)
